I bought this to learn on. I'm a nebe:) wanted a travel guitar as most of my free time is spent behind the wheel. Mine arrived perfectly set up with superb light strings and the action is perfect. I expected to need to set it up..but I took it to my father..who has played for over 50 years (including professional playing) and even he is impressed! This little Hofner is perfect for me..I have a tiny amp that I plug into my vehicles CD player aux in socket. Since getting my Shorty I've learned more in two weeks than I learned in a year with my acoustic. (I did lose interest in that TBH it was too big to carry around) The Hofner Shorty comes with a nice bag...(not a big clumsy hard case .)..which to me is a bonus.

I dont normally write reviews but feel i have to defend the poor little hofner shorty in this instance.I use mine regularly, it is a great practice guitar, sounds good, plays well and does actually feel like a proper guitar, especially the neck. The humbucker pickup is pretty hot and will therefore get a valve amp singing nicely. Mine was perfectly set up out of the box. The only thing i changed was the strings, for my preferred rotosound yellows, and altered the intonation accordingly.Yes it is unbalanced and does feel awkward at first, a good solution i have found is to use a wide (2.5"+) grippy (leather) strap, which helps a great deal. you soon get used to the lack of body on it.

Good stuff. However (I will start with the bad news first) : I ordered the Red Shorty, with the Red head, and the Silver knobs - as per the picture. Got one with a black head and black knobs. I won't return it, as the time I would spend to pack/return it is precious.The strings were not good either, and the bridge needed setup (especially the Low-E pressed at the 12th fret, had a noticeable difference with its harmonic just above the 12th fret).The good news:Most reviews on this instrument I found on the net were positive, so don't get me wrong. It rocks. Advice: Go to a guitar shop and TRY it. If it needs setup,

Does the job, very handy, you will need a strap, as doesn't balance well on knee, the nut broke after a year, so had to make a new one, changing an individual string a real pain, because of the way the bridge is made, good value for money, to fit in Suitcase on airplane, I unbolted the neck. Worth money.

Ideal as a travel guitar, just learning to play and trying to keep up a daily practice regime, with working overseas mine travels around the world with me, light enough to travel with, no problem carrying it about on aircraft. Sounds ok, not as comfortable as my Strat. but serves its purpose well.

Great guitar for travelling. Works nicely plugged into Garage Band on the iPhone. It's a bit neck-heavy if you wear a strap, but fine on your knee.Not looking forward to changing the strings, though - looks like you have to take the bridge off...

Great little guitar. Well put together and feels like a more expensive instrument. Sounds amazing for such a small thing.
